RAZOR HONE Filed Sept. 7, 1933 Patented July 17, 1934 UNITED STATESPATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in honesfor straight razors and has for some of its objects to provide, in amanner as hereinafter set forth, a device of this character which willbe comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, highly eicientand reliable in use, compact and which may be manuiactured at low cost.

All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of theinvention will become apparent from a study of the followingspecification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing whereinlike characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughoutthe sevl5 eral views, and Whereinz- Figure 1 is a view in top plan of ahone constructed in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 2 is a view in side elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is a View in vertical logitudinal section through one endportion of the hone.

Figure 4 is a view in vertical transverse section through a portion ofthe hone.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that theembodiment of the invention which has been illustrated comprises anelongated lat plate 1 of magnetized razor steel having cut therein aplurality of parallel, longitudinal grooves or channels 2 for providinga plurality of longitudinal sharpening bars or ribs 3.

In the use of the hone, the razor blade is drawn transversely, orsubstantially transversely across the upper edges of the ribs or bars 3and said blade is sharpened by said ribs or bars in a manner which isthought to be readily apparent, the upper corners of the ribs or barsbeing sharp for accomplishing this. By reason of the fact that the plate1 is magnetized, the dust or particles which are removed from the razorblade are drawn into and retained in the grooves or channels 2.

If desired, the plate l may be provided with longitudinal slotsextending entirely therethrough, instead of grooves or channels asillustrated in the drawing. Further, the grooves, channels or slots maybe arranged as desired in the plate, as will be apparent.

It is believed that the many advantages of a razor hone constructed inaccordance with the present invention will be readily understood, andalthough the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated anddescribed, it is to be understood that changes in the details ofconstruction and in the combination and arrangement of parts may beresorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention asclaimed.

What is claimed isz- A razor hone of the class described comprising asubstantially fiat plate of magnetized steel having a plurality ofparallel grooves therein, slightly spaced apart and opening out throughone face of the plate to form a plurality of spaced, parallel bars, theside walls of each groove being straight to provide right angle cornersat the side edges of the bars for engagement by a razor as the same isdrawn across the plate.
